Staxel Dedicated Server

Staxel is a somewhat new release on Steam, and there aren't many guides available for it just yet. While there are some hosting companies willing to host a game server for you, it's not widely known how to do this yourself. So, here's what you need:

Requirements

A computer running a fully-licensed copy of Windows to act as your server - this should be turned on 24/7

Staxel does not support Linux or MacOS just yet, so this guide doesn't deal with those at the moment

This guide assumes that you're running the latest version of Windows - that's Windows 10, or Windows Server 2016

A legitimate copy of Staxel - this guide assumes you own it on Steam, as we'll use Steam to keep it up to date
